After Hurricane Sandy, FEMA developed an Innovation Team in New York: a multi-sector, cross functional group made up of people in government, non-profit and international organizations, volunteer groups, businesses, and concerned citizens. For more information about the Innovation Team’s efforts, please visit http://www.fema.gov/blog/2013-01-15/lessons-sandy-word-innovation.
